PRO TIPS WHEN MAKING ALMOND FLOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

• I chop my chocolate. If I am using a bar or chips, I chop it to get irregular pieces. So…chunks galore in the cookies
• Whisk your almond flour to break up any lumps
• Before you bake the cookies, slightly press down the cookie dough into a small disk
• Make sure your butter is soft. Stick your finger in it and an indent should remain
